I use Debian btw

Latte. I run Debian so this is Plasma 5. As I understand it, Latte doesn't work in Plasma 6.

I've considered this in the past, and I might toy around with it in the future once I get the motivation to

For the lolz, of course. Like, who is still using the XP start button in '25?

I'm 32 so I was a kid in the 2000s. XP represents a golden age of the Internet to me. A time when every YouTube channel looked different and any random MySpace profile you ended up on was probably playing MCR. Before you had to sell practically every scrap of info about yourself to use nearly any service, and Google wasn't visibly evil. Ads were mostly "Your friend's IQ was 44. Can you beat that??" because all the world's authoritarians were too old to care about the web. You could pretty reliably know you were talking to a person in a chat room, and you didn't have to do some kind of mental calculus to determine whether it was a bot trying to rob your grandma of all her money in Google Play cards. Pretty well no kid in the 2000s is safe these days. I'm sure most of us said the racial slur or the mental slur or had sexual relations with everyone's mother after getting shot in Halo. I'm safe. We never had Xbox Live lol But I played a lot of split screen Halo in the living room. Good, innocent times.

Rose tinted glasses and all that, but idk, I feel like we'll never achieve that again. Everyone was throwing everything at the wall and seeing what stuck. And the tech was kind of in a Goldilocks zone. Just powerful enough to be cool and exciting, but not so powerful that it gets scary.

Except for those damn PS2s being used for nuclear bomb guidance.

And that's fine. I said I really liked gnome. The only extensions I had were weather in the top bar and dash to dock. I just wanted it to do a few extra things, and I wanted to play around with widgets. Gnome was also a bit too rigid for my taste. Plasma makes tweaking small things a joy.

For me, ootb Plasma felt too much like Windows. I use Windows all day at work so I want my home machines to look and feel completely unlike Windows.

Thanks! I'm using Latte for the dock and Tera Circle Blue for the icons.

Circadian Rule

For now, I'm doing "McDonald's at Home" lol I make biscuits and sausage patties ahead of time. You can make all of your eggs ahead of time, but I like to make my eggs when I eat them. And reheat your biscuits in an oven or toaster oven. Otherwise, the texture ain't right. If you somehow made too much steak last night, you can use that in place of the sausage. Steak for breakfast makes me feel like a king lol Having biscuits on hand adds some flexibility because I love biscuits and gravy. I'll also make a breakfast casserole from eggs, sausage, cheese, unrolled croissant dough, and bell and jalapeno peppers. I've tried doing biscuit crusts from scratch before, but it's a lot of work when the alternative is busting open a can of croissant rolls lol

I really like tamago kake gohan for being quick, easy, and delicious. In case you've never tried it, I use my instant pot to make super sticky rice the night before. You reheat the rice in the microwave, crack a raw egg into it, and add some Japanese soy sauce. Then you use chopsticks to pretty violently whip it all together until it's got kind of a creamy texture. You can have a hot bowl in under 3 minutes. It's stupid simple and fast.

And again, steak for breakfast is awesome. I'll get a cheaper cut like a sirloin, dice it up, and cook it through in my cast iron. Then I scramble some eggs and add a little of the steak and top with shredded cheese. A small bowl of steak and eggs really keeps me feeling full all day like >90% of the time.

I've done "Chick-fil-A at Home" too. That's not one I make ahead of time. It's just a chicken strip or some popcorn chicken in the air fryer, one scrambled egg, shredded cheese, and a tortilla. I'll use the carb balance tortillas that have extra fiber. And hot sauce if that's your thing. Salsa also goes very well on it.

Circadian Rule

I'm working on reestablishing mine. I've set an alarm for 5:45. I snooze it, cuddle my wife, and ten minutes later, when it goes off again, I get up. Every day. No exceptions. I immediately take my meds, and maybe play some games on the Switch with my headphones until about 7:00, at which point I take my dogs out, poop, make breakfast, and do something else. If it's the workweek, I sign into work at 7:30. If it's the weekend, I might empty the dishwasher, play some more video games, then take my dogs to the park at 9:00 because that's when everyone else shows up.

I'm also working on performing certain tasks at regular intervals. Wednesday and Sunday are for doing laundry. If I keep that up, it takes five minutes to hang and fold it all. I do try to empty the dishwasher each morning if I can. Saturday evening, before I shower, is for changing the cat litter. And Saturday morning is for prepping my breakfast for the week.

I'm really trying to get back into routines. And being medicated for my ADHD makes it feel so achievable. For the first time probably ever, it feels good to move my body and not be snacking all the time. It's wild, man.

Very good advice (Art by RiniDisc)

my wife's old Macbook is still going strong for casual use

As is the 500 dollar Acer laptop I bought in 2016 lol But yeah, my wife had wanted a MacBook Pro for a very long time. We finally had the money for it in 2019 so we got that laptop for her. In order to play games on it, I had to give her one of my Windows keys and learn how to set up Boot Camp. It's actually a perfectly serviceable gaming laptop.

She loves it. It's still holding up very well. But was it worth $2,700? Not to me. But then again, my '97 Honda probably isn't worth the $2,700 I paid for it to her, either. I don't understand why she wants overly expensive computers. She doesn't understand why I want overly crappy cars. But we did say for better or worse so here we are lol

YSK there's a list of all January 6th defendants available on justice.gov

Streisand Effect. Even if they take it down, it'll always be available somewhere. And the more anyone tries to scrub it from the internet, the more available it'll become.

Every time I see one in public...

I've literally never owned a Thinkpad lmao I've installed Linux on:

HP Pavilion DV5-2077CL (Ubuntu 12.10)
Toshiba Protege Z835-P330 (Ubuntu 16+)
Acer Aspire V3-372T (Debian 12)

As for desktop machines, I have essentially the same computer I had in 2014. A 4790K on a Gigabyte Z97 board. The only hardware issues I ever ran into were a Netgear WiFi adapter (I got it to work, but I'm on Ethernet again because it's better) and my RTX 4070 that replaced my R9 290.

Didn't even need dmesg this time!

Windows: You got a kernel panic from an update just once this week? I went through two BSODs today!

Mac: It'd happen more often if I actually had software! You get everything!

Arch: While getting updates can cause crashes sometimes, new stuff is fun.

Debian: You guys are getting updates?

Nintendo Switch 2 – First-look trailer [Official]

It's my favorite echo chamber lol But yeah, I don't think Linux will ever have the mass appeal that Windows and Mac do, and that's okay. Still, it's cool that gaming has been getting easier on Linux what with Proton and native support. It made it feel like I wasn't giving something up when I gave up Windows.

Lmao I bought my monitors in 2013. It's 1080p60 here. I have to use adapters because nothing has DVI out anymore. I don't even care about 4K. 1080p60 is good enough for me. Now excuse me while I burn a CD for my manual 90s car. Today's soundtrack is The Bends and the moonroof will be open.

So uhh, why does "Warning: Cancer and reproductive harm." appear at the bottom of the DKCHD store page? LMAO
